Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting kinase inhibition. It plays a role in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents due to its ability to enhance binding affinity with target proteins. Its fluorinated structure improves metabolic stability and membrane permeability, making it valuable in drug design for optimizing pharmacokinetic properties. Also employed in agrochemicals for creating novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
